Questioner
Dalinar Ascends, right? Like, right then, there.
Brandon Sanderson
I have RAFO'd that. Whether he is Ascending or not is a RAFO.
Questioner
Okay, because I know he kind of mentions from that, I don't know how to say his name but the older guy who has the Diagram--
Brandon Sanderson
Taravangian, yeah. Whether that deserves to be a capital "A" or not is a matter of argument. It can be disputed.
Questioner
I guess my main question would just be Dalinar's now able to pull Stormlight and give it to people now.
Brandon Sanderson
He definitely can. That is a Bondsmith power, so.
Questioner
That is a Bondsmith power, okay.
Brandon Sanderson
That is specifically a Bondsmith power.
Questioner
Because my roommate was saying well, the Stormfather was surprised he could do that or was the Stormfather surprised that he was able to bridge--
Brandon Sanderson
He was surprised by what was happening to Dalinar as a whole.
Questioner
Oh okay, that's what I thought because I was like, because I felt like the Stormlight, that power would be a Bondsmith power.
Brandon Sanderson
Let's say that the Stormfather and Odium were seeing something in Dalinar that, perhaps, the average person watching even who is knowledgeable about Surges would not completely understand... But he will be able to use that power and Bondsmiths in the past have used that same power.
